They could've given Prettyboy some Double jointed Knees and a swivel at the lower leg. Still gonna cop him to make Metallo or Brainiac. The rest can be thrown in the bin
Great video. I missed that first Stryfe, but this new one looks like it’s the clear winner so I’m glad I’m gonna end up with a better version of the character. Wish he came with the sword the original one had though, if I recall it was sculpted to be the one he used to injure Apocalypse which is a cool detail. Pretty Boy looks really cool too, seeing the Reavers coming together is really good. Skullbuster was an underrated figure in that Caliban wave IMO, hopefully people appreciate him more now that he’s got a team. Glad I got this set coming eventually. The X-Men figures of late have generally been really good.
I am interested only in Pretty Boy, as that body looks like a much better fit for Silvermane than the one they used for that Spidey boxset. I also put a coat on my Machine Man, but I used the Mezco Hellboy coat since my Hellboy is posed in his full demon/topless look. Crazy how well that Toybiz Gambit coat has held up!
Regarding the tattoos, I learned of this back in 2018-19 while designing MLB player tees for my company. You have to purchase the rights from the artists who put the tattoos on the players in order to sell product with the art. Comic book characters etc aren't a part of that category seeing that the full rights are licensed out by their respective company. It sucks for accuracy but ain't nobody paying for that extra cost. Only the 2k games and other publishers will shell out for the most part.
I used that older 2014 or so Cable figure for my Reese. With its technorganic arm & neck it fits with the rest of the Reavers Try it & see what you think 👑
I'm real twisted on this pack. Stryfe is nearly a must buy, i hope they reuse pretty boy somewhere I wanna army build that buck, but then the budget just gets so thin that there's not enough to really do the rest of the figures justice. Random should have been on the Omega Red for sure. I dont know what my magic number will be but this set will have to go on clearance for me
You probably think I'm a pain in the arse by now lol but I miss you doing regular reviews as I've always you do it best! I know I keep asking for more main course too I guess I just want more boog in my life. I know your a busy dude though its all love man here to support you regardless of what you do! Can you believe I've been watching for just over 10 years now, thanks for the memories brother and all the acba/toy photography tips I've picked up along the way
The tattoos 4 the NBA players wasn't used because they're tattoos are personal (a slogan, religion, etc) or have third parties approval ex. - family members
I mostly wanted Pretty Boy to go with the Reavers, But hopefully he will get a single release somewhere down the line because the only X-MEN villains that I will get are the FA Sabertooth, 20th Anniversary Toad, Avalanche, and Dark Phoenix, Great review Boog.
The vest from the jazware fortnite abstract is perfect for that pretty boy. I have one on the silvermane buck with a Peter Parker head as a stand-in for now.
If I had this 5 pack I would use the Zero figure to make a Comic Book Spot because the one that leaked from Across the Spiderverse wave looks too thin for my liking.
Pretty Boy had that weird ability to hack peoples minds by extending green wires out of his eyes and attaching them to his victims. That is the only connection to the green blast effects I can think of.
Stryfe, and Zero have long been on my most wanted list. Hope to see more MLF characters. Random was also a must have. So this 5-pack was a win for me. Glad to see that overall this is a solid bunch of figures.
